3
What is it? Anatomy: the branch of science that deals with the structure of body parts Physiology: concerns the functions of body parts, what they do and how they do it
4
Levels of Organization
Atoms: microscopic particles Molecules: made up of atoms Macromolecules: molecules combined in complex ways Cell: Basic unit of living thing Organelle: structures within a cell that perform a certain task Tissue: Group of cells Organs: Complex structures made up of tissues that perform a certain task Organ system: Group of organs working together Organism: Organs make up living things
6
Characteristics of Life
Metabolism: process of chemical reactions in the body that break down substances and build them up for energy Maintenance of Life Water, Foods, Oxygen, Heat, Pressure Homeostasis: Maintaining a stable internal environment for survival (Temp, pH, water, etc.)
7
Homeostatic Mechanisms
Receptors: provide information about specific conditions in the internal environment Set Point: tells what a particular value should be (body temp) Effectors: cause responses that alter conditions in the internal environment
8
Homeostatic Mechanisms
Set Point Change is compared to the set point Receptors Effectors Stimulus Response (Change is corrected)
10
Body Portions Axial Portion: Includes head, neck, and trunk
Appendicular Portion: Includes upper and lower limbs
11
Anatomical Positions Superior: Body part is above another part, or closer to the head Inferior: body part is lower than another, toward the feet Anterior: Towards the front (Eyes are anterior to the brain) Posterior: Towards the back Medial: Imaginary midline dividing the body into equal right and left halves.
12
Anatomical Positions Lateral: toward the side with respect to the midline (Ears are lateral to the eyes) Bilateral: refers to paired structures, one on each side (lungs) Ipsilateral: structures on the same side (right kidney and right lung) Proximal: Body part that is closer to the trunk (elbows are proximal to wrist) Distal: Opposite of proximal, farther away from trunk Superficial: placed near the surface of the skin Deep: more internal parts
13
LEFT SIDE ACTIVITY Choose 10 vocabulary words from the slides and define the words and draw a picture or use the word in a sentence. Draw and label your own anatomical person. Use all 14 of the vocab words we just went over and give examples as necessary.
